Temponuy Chairman of the Convention. Speelal to tbe Ohio State Journal. ' Spauonixn, O., Jane 10. The last day before the decisive contest for the honor of bearing the Republican standard to victory has been an exciting one here. Throughout the day and evening the hotel lobbies and even the streets, have been filled with the delegates to tomorrow's convention and the friends of the various candidates. The Kennedy boom, which obtained a fair start yesterday, has kept increasing through the day. Whether it is backed by a sufficient number of votes to back the assertions of General Kennedy's Friends that tomorrow he will be nominated, tomorrow only can tell. The Foraker men seem to hare at last come to the conclusion that nearly every one else had arrived at before, that Judge Foraker if nominated at all must be nominated on the first ballot. There are rotes here for Foraker that will go to other candidates after one or twe ballots in case Mr. Foraker does not become the nominee on the- first ballot. The condition of the Foraker forces seems to be just about this: They have reached the maximum of their possibUiiieand ' Mo AM melon to the Foraker Vote from the forces of the other candidates is now anticipated. While this is the esse with regard to Foraker, the same is not true of either Beatty or Kennedy, and therein is their strength. Neither the Beatty or Kennedy managers claim to have a sufficient number of votes to nominate on the first ballot. The Foraker managers do claim to have sufficient votes to insure his nomination on the first ballot. Captain W. 8. Cap-pellar, one of the Foraker managers, says that Foraker will have 439 votes on the first ballot. As it only requires 400 to nominate, it is trident that if any reliance is to be placed on this statement the convention will proceed to the nomination of a Lieutenant Governor very soon after a .permanent organization is effected. Bat there are several premises on which Captain Cappellar's calculation is based which are not stable. He and other Foraker men claim that , . ' The Cayaboga Cennty Delegation, while nominally a Rose delegation, will vote for Mr. Foraker, and can be depended on as part of his strength. In other words, the Foraker men claim that the Rose movement is only a blind to cover part of Foraker's strength. Investigation of this subject indicates that the Foraker managers are either the victims or the manufacturers of misin- - formation. The Cuyahoga county delegation came down today, and the leading mem- - ben of it confirmed the reports current here - yesterday, that they are determined to bring abont the nomination of W. G. Rose, if that is among the possibilities, and that the majority of tbe delegation are no more friendly to Foraker than to any other candidate. Hon. Allan T. Brinsmade, one of the leading Cuyahoga county delegates, told me that The Delegation Will Be for Bose first, last and all the time. "Will you present Mr. Rose's name to the convention ? I asked. "He will be voted tor. Whether or not his name will be presented to the convention in a nominating speech will be decided at a meeting of the delegation to be heid tonight or in the morning. - "Yon have a candidate for supreme judge fr-m Cuyahoga in- Mr. Dickman, have you net?" I inquired. 'We have no candidate for any thing ex-ecat Governor while the nomination for Governor is pending. We are for . Rose for Governor, and are going to 1q .nothing to e.'ahafinii or hinder pfir efforts to- secure him tbe nomination. Che candidacy of any other Cuyahoga oounfy man is a secondary TPYi'TlHm " ---' 1 untiii the gubernatorial question is disposed of." "Vnn ere hie as Rose boomers, are von V I asked of Hon. John C. Covert, another of the Rnvaboea delegation, "Wa are for Bose," was his response, "and erfll Art all we can for him." "Does Judge Dickman acquiesce in yonr disposition to let nis canaioacy wait on tne 'rwtjunl ha does', - . 'Mr. Covert, your anTenas- iSnnaft in connection wtan the lieutenant .imiilii in case Foraker is nominated. ith the understanding that if yonr delega tion support. Foraker, the Foraker men will support yon. Is there anything in that?" 'Slothing at all. A dosen man have been at me with that kind of talk. I am not a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and would not take it 'So movement of that kind will be made." Hon. George B. Solders, another member of the Cuyahoga delegation, said to me, "We are Determined to Nominate Bom for Governor if possible, and I think it is possible." "What reasons have yon for thinking so?" "His name is well received by everyone. The candidates for other nominations whose delegations are here working for them and not committed on the gubernatorial question, are . very favorably disposed toward Rose. If he is nominated for Governor, they know Cuyahoga county will ask nothing more, but if he fails of nomination, we have in Mr. Dickman a candidate for supreme judge, and in Hon. Carlos M. Stone for attorney general candidates, one of whom will be nominated. Stone is a strong man, and Babst, Kohler and Earn hart all want their counties to go for Rose, as that will remove from competition with them one of the strongest candidates for the attorney generalship, who, coming into the field as he will, with the unanimous backing of Cuyahoga county, will be likely to carry off the nomination. W. G. Rose is popular with every class and every faction,'' - . "In the event of his nomination proving out of the question' will your delegation be unanimous lor ForakerT" "By no means. There may be a few Foraker men in the delegation, but there are also men who think Mr. Foraker's nomination at this time would not be in the interest of the party, and would vote for General Kennedv before thev would for him. If Rose is not nominated it looks very much as though Kennedy would be." "How does your delegation stand with regard to General Beatty r .' -"We are not unfriendly to him and he might get some rotes from the delegation if Rose was out of the field." "How about the talk of Mr. Covert for Lieutenant Governor if ..Foraker is nominated for Governor?" - -"Nothing in it at all. That subject was talked over -between Mr.- Rose and Mr. Covert before Sir. Rose went up tbe St. Lawrence last week. Mr. Rose asked Mr. Covert to go in on a movement of that kind and said he would be glad to do all he could for him and would not stand in his way. Mr. Covert refused. Covert does not want the place and would not take it" Judge Solders gave some very pungent reasons why, in his opinion, Mr. Foraker should not be renominated, and it is noticeable that some of the strongest arguments against Foraker's nomination are made by Cuyahoga men, who are claimed as Foraker men by the Foraker managers. The Arrival of General John Beatty from Columbus this noon was the signal for a Beatty boom, and- Beatty stock has risen slightly since the gallant general is on the ground himself It is any individual opinion, however, for which I alone am responsible, that Kennedy stock still leads Beatty stock several points. General Beatty's headquarters are in the parlors of the Arcade house and are the handsomest apartments occupied by any of the candidates. Tbe report that the Columbus Glee club and other organizations are coming over in the morning to swell the Beatty throng has aroused the managers of other candidates' interests, and a counter-movement in the shape of processions of colored Foraker supporters, and colored Kennedy supporters parading the streets with brass bands is now under consideration and likely to result There was much Dissatisfaction Among the Foraker. Ken because the judge did not arrive this morning as expected, but postponed his coming until this afternoon, bringing him on the ground later than either of the other two candidates.' His arrival with the Hamilton county delegation at 4 o'clock this afternoon set their minds at rest however, and they now are very enthusiastic in claiming that his boom is a solid and material one, backed by sufficient votes to nominate him on the first ballot j i ; : . . . - Hon. Charles Foster i ' came from Foatoria today. He says that he has come to exercise his political rights as a Republican of Ohio, and was warmly welcomed by every one, especially the Foraker managers. The state central committee met this afternoon to decide upon the manner of distributing tickets of admission to the convention, and after their adjournment Chairman O'Neill made the following announcement: "There are 3200 seats, of which 1600 will be given to the delegates snd alternates, one to each; 250 to tbe candidates, 30 to each gubernatorial candidate and 10 to each of the minor aspirants; and 250 to the state eentral-committee, 10 to each of the central and executive committeemen, and the rest are reserved for local distribution. Of the sets of 250, 100 of each are stage tickets." Bon. William McKinlev of Stark county, who arrived today and has been, suggested as the probable permanent chairman ot the convention, says that he don't want it, has had his full share of being permanent chairman, and is in favor of Hon. Amos rownsend ot Juvahoga county lor permanent chairman. The Cuyahoga dele gation want Mr. Townsend made permanent chairman ana ne prooaDiy win De. Major McKinlev says that while he per sonally is for Foraker, he can not say that northeastern Ohio especially desires Foraker's nomination. He says that he not oaly will not be a candidate himself, but is of the opinion that no dark horse should be nominated, but that one of the gentlemen now in tne held should be tbe nominee of the convention. Major McKinlev will un doubtedly be Chairman of the Committee on Reaalu- ' tlons. He thinks that neither the tariff or liquor questions will be issues in this campaign, but considers that they are likely to come in for some share of discussion during the cam paign. Colonel B. F. Coatesof Portsmouth says that the Scioto county delegation is solid for Kennedy. Dr. Davidson of Portsmouth says that Kennedy will stand well with that delegation, and Hon. Dan. Ryan says the delegation is likely to support Kennedy, and anyway is not a Foraker delegation. Major Henry A. Axiine of zanesvuie. Muskingum county, says that the Muskingum County Delegation Will Vote for Foraker on the first ballot to give him a chance for the nomination, and if Foraker is not nom inated on the first ballot most of them will go to General Kennedv. This is at variance with some of the reports regarding! Musking um, out Major Axiine is one ot tne delegates and knows what he is talking about. Frank J. McCullongh of Bellefontaine, one of Kennedy's managers, claims from 250 to 300 votes for Kennedy on the first ballot Henry Rabbits, ex-chairman of the Republican committee, sizes up the situation as ionows: - "I don't believe from present indications that any one of these three leaders Foraker, Kennedy or Beatty will be nominated. Foraker is strong enough to control the re sult but not to secure the nomination him self. Tbe colored defection is going to work him grave and fatal injury. I believe that a dark horse will be put in, and it will be Rose or Judge Manning n. Force of. Cin cinnati. The latter is my individual choice, and would make a strong and winning race. Judge Brotherton of Auglaize is among the l !.. nil;. - t . i ,r i punaiDiuuea. inia tuuuieut jwd Aenueuy is the strongest man of the three leaders, and my choice of the three." There is also some talk of the name of Mayor Amor Smith of Cincinnati being sprung on the convention in the event of Foraker's nomination appearing impossible alter two or wree naiiots. There is a movement to induce ex-Senator Perkins of Trumbull county to allow his name to go on the second place on the ticket This is a Kennedy movement and a very shrewd one to get northern Ohio votes. in tne event ot f oraaer s nomination , Hob. George W. Ford of Geauga County seems likely to be nominated for Lieutenant ' Governor. Mr. Ford told me thisafternoon that while not a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, as he would rather be a candidate for state senator, he will take the nomination if it comes to him, as a man can not always pick out what he wants. Mr. Ford is an enthusiastic Foraker supporter, and is doing some good work for Foraker among northern Ohio delegates. Mr. L. C. Pierson, one of the delegates from Lake county, says that the Lake county delegation was not instructed for Beatty as reported, but will vote for Foraker first and if he is not nominated will support Perkins, if he is a candidate, or W. G. Rose if Perkins is not in the field. Mr. Pierson says that in no event will Rose and Perkins be candidates against each other.- The delegation is not however, unfriendly to General Beatty and he will get some votes from it - Homer C. Jones of Vinton county says that Vinton county will give Beatty one vote and Foraker two, but may change to Kennedy. Two Hundred Vetea on the First Ballet are what General Beatty's friends claim. They are - enthusiastic and expect General Beatty to be nominated. No one has and no one can sav a word against General Beattv. and when the break-up comes, when it be comes evident, as it must some time tomor row to the -followers Of the various candi dates, that their favorite can not be nomi nated, then General lieatty is as uaeiy to receive sufficient votes to nominate as any other candidate; for many of tne followers ot other candidates hare ueneral Beatty tor second choice. The Most Sensational Episode of the Day was the arrival of Judge Foraker from Cin cianati. On the .train with him was the Faanilton county d-ie-ation add a "liiimlwi iaf r" blieaan, from Hamilton couni J.-rf"-Sroi"- the Montgomery county lelejnnuev panied by the Oaysoa band, when the train arrived in Springfield, at nearly 5 o'clock, the Foraker delegates.- boomers and ptheen. were awaiting near the depot for Judge Foraker's arrival.

Door. lou form of the car was the signal for a burst of applause, which reverberated through the town and brought Ueneral Kennedy and his friends out on tbe balconv of the Arcade bouse to learn what it was all about As Judge Foraker proceeded through the arcade mat runs tnronen tne center ot the Arcade house, preceded by the band and followed by the enthusiastic Hamilton and Mont gomery county delegations, he received The Greatest Ovation which has been given any one here. '. He proceeded into the hotel, and was on the way to nis neaaquarters, when his friends insisted that he step out on the balcony and say a word to the crowd which was so enthusiastically cheering him. Judge Foraker did so, saying: "I sincerely thank you for the sincere, cordial and kindly greeting- which yen have given me. I hope that tomorrow about this time in the afternoon I may have an opportunity to thank-you again. I came to. this convention as a Republican citizen to help give expression to the sentiments of the Republican party of Ohio. And now, I want to say, that whether you see. fit to entrust to me the honor of being the standard-bearer of the Republican party this year, or whether you give that honor to my ei 'cemed and estimable friend General Kennedy, or to General Beatty. I pledge you that ' no one will be better satisfied with your choice than I will, and either of them or whoever may receive the nomination of this convention will receive no heartier support from any man than that which i. shall give them. It is a matter of comparatively little consequence who is selected for the SMMard-bearer, but it is important that the campaign be a triumphant one. Keep up the enthusiasm that you now show nntil election day and there is no doubt that the campaign will eloae In triumph ftr tbe Ucpubiioau party." ; Mr. Foraker then retired and General Kennedy, who stood on. another balcony where he could hear Judge Foraker's remarks, was called on for a speech. General Kennedy said: "I will make my speeches after the delegates shall have assembled in yonder hall and chosen a standard-bearer, and I will 1 Ohio." i Soon after the Montgomery county delega- a nMl -in a him nlaei ' " i ha fan a: no Sanaa jbt-w r Oeneml Beattv and Oanaaal Sla have rly engaged most of the af- ternoon and eve dhave litpe tuno-tcrr - THE WINNER?

In the evening a crowd of hundreds surged and thronged through the Arcade, and after the Dayton band had played a few airs cries for Beatty began to go up. After the calls for him bad reverberated from wall to wall for several minute General Beatty appeared on the balcony, and was received with rousing cheers. His appearance provoked so great enthusiasm that it was several moments before the noise of the cheering was hushed sufficiently to enable him to be beard. General Beatty said: "Fellow-Citizens I suppose you all differ somewhat as to the man who shall be nominated bv this convention, and it is because we differ as fb availability of this or that man that we are here today, it may be that you are talking about your first Choice and your second choice, and perhaps you are cal culating what this delegation or that delegation may do. Now if you will take my word for it I can relieve you from all anxiety on this point The mn nominated by this convention will be the first choice of every Republican in the state and we shall go home shouting for him, and then in October we snail elect mm by a large majority Applause. - "Fel 'ellow-citizens. the average American is a man of many ideas, fertile, broad and comprehensive. He is disposed to look with pity and possibly with contempt on the poor fellow who has but one idea or one leading and predominant thought I can understand, therefore, how, when Springfield was a struggling little village, the wise men of tbe place and men with many ideas and broad views were disposed to look with OiwMapTirr:l JI8MlqwhitiBy and . . r"" nao lost nMssanental equipoise ana become somewhat nieu unbalanced W their devotioa-to a ai idea.

Applause He was slandered, ridiculed, sneered at as a fanatic and fool; his followers were pelted with. stale eggs, their arguments replied to with brickbats, their printing offices burned to the ground, but thank God they defeated the infamies of ministers and laymen, as well as the jeering of tbe sensitive and prejudiced mob until the idea of universal freedom triumphed, until all men recognized his idea as just and true. This was a royal idea also, and brought a multitude of blessings into the world with it "Now. my friends. I simply wish to say inf conclusion that tne Kepuoucan party has a grand idea, a leading ana comprehensive thought: an idea that will. assert itself in spite of the ridicule of the Democratic press, in spite of the sneers of ten thousand vicious demagogues, in spite of the sneers and jeers of a million fools, and that idea is that this government should protect its citizens applause, should secure to every legal voter a free ballot and a fair count. And when this royal idea is recognized by the people it will bring with it honest representative parties; it will bring with it education for the freedmen; it will bring with it equalitv of rights among citizens; it will bring with it an era of good feeling among men and among sections. Fellow- citizens, l commend inis iaea 10 yon. u you will put it to the front it will in this campaign win you a glorious and decisive victory; it will do more than that it will become an issne for 1888, and on this issue we shall solidify the North and rescue the government from the hands of theex-Confederates." Applause. After more cheering and more music Gen eral Kennedy "was called for, and responded substantially as follows: -,--'(. "I wanttos&r this: - While I am a candidate before this convention, I want the best man selected fpi standard-bearer. We ought to put that man at the head of the ticket who can bring from-the pedple of Ohio .the best results for the Republican ticket.. While I would be much gratified to be placed at the head of that ticket, I say to you that no man has a mortgage on the Republican party. If any candidate can receive more votes than I, every honest delegate should ote for that man in tomorrow's convention. The spirit which tonight permeates you will permeate the Republican party throughout the campaign, and bring victory out of defeat and triumph from disaster." judge r oraker was again called for, and said : ''Fxiiow-CnizSKE I havelcome to Spring field, as ihe rest of you nave, to organize for the Republican party. I do not come here to present any claims on tbe Republican party. I never claimed to have any claim en the Republican party. The highest pride I have is to be a member of the great Republican party. The highest place I want is mat to wnicn tne party cnooses to assign me. After tomorrow's convention, who ever may be chosen, no one will follow the leader selected with more seal and more earnestness than I will, i The other candidates are gentlemen of the highest distinction. No man can legitimately say anything against them. I hone no friend of mine will. Let the rivalry be friendly, and when the choice is made, above all things let us go forward shoulder to snouiaer as one man lor tne grand itepuDiic- an party." '; Er-Governor Charles Foster was Called For and made an eloquent speech, in which he said that by fraud and treachery the Demo crats tnumpnea last year in the nation, nut the Republican party is in the minority only in the number of votes counted, not in the number east Tbe Foraker colored club of Springfield soon appeared and serenaded Judge Foraker, who addressed .them from the balcony, saying that he was gratified by their presence, not alone on account of the compliment to -himself, but because they were here as col ored men on tne same grade of equality De- lore tne constitution and the law as the hite men. He said that he first became a Republican because he abhorred slavery and had remained a Republiean because the Re-, publicans had always been on the side of the colored man. More speaking followed. General C. H. Groavenor spoke in a complimentary manner of all the candidates and in favor of a good platform-one equal to the demand for sound principles. The party should take a lesson from the disasters of the past It is a time for success more than for personal advancement All the Republicans should be held in the Sarty and Democrats drawn to it The emocratic administration in Ohio should be rebuked. This is the time to show that Republican nrincinles are sacred and true. and that the party has not been held togeth er Dy patronage. Meje Ben Butterworth '" " ' on being called but said he ought to avoid being an offensive partisan while holding an official position. But still he discussed the protection of schools, industries, citizenship and all American institutions that had been preserved by the Republican- party. Ohio has never wavered in a presidential election and should lead the column now for 1888. Besides, the state owes it to herself to purge herself from the corruption of the past two years. ' Rev. B. W. Arnett, Republican' candidate for the Legislature from Greene county, spoke eloquently on the mission of the Republican party, which bad the completion of its work yet to make. Hon. J. warren Keifer followed in an eloquent speech saying that the Republican party is going forward to conquer and will make no mistakes. That whenever it attempts to offer excuses for anything it has done it will be defeated. General Kennedy made another speech, being called on, ringing with eloquence and grand Republicanism. The immense crowd, which went up into the thousands, was by this time wild with enthusiasm. Tbe town is overcrowded tonight as this is the most largely attended state convention ever held. Bands have been serenading candidates and promenading all evening. Many people will not go to bed until 4 in the morning, and the scene is an exceedingly lively one. - Some of those in the supper-room at the Arcade this evening, who had conceived a notion that General Beatty and ex-Governor Foster were not on speaking terms, as Democratic papers have attempted to create such an impression, were surprised to see General Beatty, when he had finished his repast, walk across the room to exchange friendly greetings with ex-Governor Foster, who sat at another table. Tbe , Beatty Men Say that tomorrow their brass band will be here. They perfected an organization today which which is doing effective work. In the four-cornered contest it was found that the Foraker, Kennedy and Rose men had each an organized force pressing if heir respective claims. The Kennedy orgatiizttion is the most open and confident,-that of Foraker the most aggressive and compact while that of Rose is a very peculiar and alarming still hunt The Beatty Delegates from Franklin, as well as the other counties, went around today talking and advocating without any method in their cause. It became apparent that they were shooting in the air, and soon after noon it was decided to call a council of war. Accordingly the delegates from different counties and others favorable to General John Beatty for Governor met at the Beatty headquarters at 4 o'clock this afternoon to get the ball rolling. There was a large attendance, but after they got together H was difficult to devise the best plans for operation. Ex-Governor J. B. Neil was called to the chair, and he is being strongly pressed for- permanent chairman of the convention tomorrow. . J)r. I. 8. Topins of Perry Was ' made secretary. After ringing speeches from Allen Miller. Mayor H. C. Drink le, Captain Keller, D. A.' Rudd, George Gregg, A. 4). Rodgers and others, it was decided to appoint a committee of seven to have charge ot an the preliminary worg, anu tne ioiiow-ing were appointed: A. R. Keller, Franklin; Allen Miller, Perry; H. C. Drinkle, Fairfield: George Dawson, Morrow; I. F. Mack, Sandusky; J. W. Keifer, Clarke; A. B. Hol-combe, Paulding. This committee afterward met and appointed a number of subcommittees to visit the various delegations, to be in attendance at incoming trains, to entertain visitors at the Beatty headquarters, to look after tickets and other matters. These committees have been doing very effective work during jthe day. The sub-committee that was. appointed to hear reports state that Beatty is receiving support from unexpected quarters, that he will show ud with a strong vote on the first ballot and that he is in a good position to get the benefit of any complications that may srise. The Franklin County Delegation held a meeting tonight electing W. O. Tol- I A -.1.

The Platform Will be Simple Tet Complete, and one on which every citizen of Ohio who respects the commands to do right and fear not and love thy neighbor as thyself can stand. - . there are rumors of all sorts of combina tions of candidates for the various offices but the frozen truth is that no candidate is certain enough of his own strength or following to be able to enter into combinations, and such rumors are for the most part originated by people here who came to enjoy the reunion of Republicans and devote their leisure - moments to formulating schemes which neither they or any one else can carry out The fact is the candidates for other nominations will be very glad when tne guoernaioruu question is disposed of, for until then they will be wholly at a loss to know where they stand or what chances there are for them. the convention will meet in the wigwam at 10 o'clock tomorrow moraine and will be called to order by Hon. J. 'W. O'Neall, chair man state committee, who will introduce the temporary chairman.' Hon. J. S. Taylor of Guernsey, who will address tbe conven tion briefly on assuming the chair. The morning session is likely to be brief, the business being merely formal process of announcing committees as provided for at the district caucuses, which meet at 9 a. m. Ad- J journment will be until 2 o'clock to give the committees time to do their work and tbe real business of the convention will be transacted at the afternoon session. On reassembling in the afternoon the permanent officers will be elected, the committee on resolutions will report and a 'platform be adopted, and the nominations for state offices made in the following order: Governor, Lieutenant uovernor, ludge of Bcpreme court treasurer, attorney general, member of board of public works. It is likely that the business will be comoleted before ad journment tomorrow evening, though it is possioie tne convention may De unable to conclude its work tomorrow, and be in session again Friday. So lull a list of the candidates for the vari ous state offices was published in these dis patches yesterday, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. To the candidates for attorney general given then should be added the name of Hon. Carlos ii. Stone of Cuyahoga county, who, in the event of neither the uovernor or supreme judge being se lected from Cuyahoga, will be one of the leading candidates for attorney general. Tha Delegates Are Xov All In, and everything ready for tomorrow's contest Foraker's friends claim 430 votes on the first ballot. Beatty's friends claim 200 for him, Kennedy's 275 for him, and Rose's at least 60 for him. Of course thev can not all be right, as there are only 798 votes in the coven tion, bnt then if everyone knew just how many votes each candidate would get, and who would be nominated, there would be no use of holding a convention. General Charles 11. Urosvenor of Athens. Hon. Amos Townsend and Hon. O. J. Hodee os Cleveland, Colonel T. C. Campbell and Robert Harlan of Cincinnati are among the noticeable figures in the hotel lobbies. The Cuyahoga County Delegation met this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the La-gonda house. Judge G. B. Solders an nounced that it was necessary for the delegates who had just arrived to understand tbe situation. Hon. Allan T. Brins made was elected chairman of the delegation and J. A. Smith secretary, Mr. Brinsmade said that by a proper enort on behalf of W. G. Rose the Cuyahoga delegation could secure his nomination, and lie thought the entire forty-eight votes should be cast for Rose. Mr. Brinsmade called on any delegate present who did not intend to vote for Rose to make it . known. Mr. R, T. Holden - said he wanted' to vote for General Beatty. Mr. Day said he should vote for Foraker, and thought it not a wise policy to vote for Rose. Mr. Collins also announced that he thought it poor policy to vote for Rose, although he had no preference among the other candi dates. Secretary Smith declared that the delegation ought to vote solidly for Rose on the hrst ballot and thereafter. Judge Solders was of the same opinion. John P. Green, the colored delegate from Cuyahoga, said that it seemed to him unwise to nominate Foraker, for, unjustly or not many colored men had objections to him. Mr. Holden said that although for Beatty he would abide by a decision of a majority of the delegation. Hon. Harvey W. Cnrtiss thought the delegation should go slow talk matters over and meet again in the evening. The delegation then adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening.' At the evening session the Cuyahoga county delegation decided to present the name of Hon. W. G. Rose for Governor when the other nominating speeches are made, and selected Hon. John C. Covert to make the nominating speech. The Situation at Midnight is just about as mixed as it has been at any time. The action of the Cuyahoga county delegation in determining to present and support Roee has added to tbe complexity of the situation. Their forty-eight votes had been counted on by the Foraker men. .The loss of them has made the Forakerites mad and they are casting about for some sort of compromise which will enable them to name the nominee if he is not Foraker. Both Beatty and Kennedy managers are in a position to make a deal with Foraker managers which will result in the nomination of the man whose friends seize the opportunity and make tbe deal, provided always that Foraker is not nominated on the first ballot The Cuyahoga delegation has incurred the hostility of all the other candidates, and combinations between Beatty 'and Foraker or Kennedy and Foraker are now likely to be made at any time. Cuyahoga's, position seems to have redounded . To the Benefit of Kennedy and Beatty, and insured Foraker's defeat but whether Beatty or Kennedy will be the beneficiary of tne deal can not be determined definitely until tomorrow. Both forces are confident, while Foraker men are somewhat discouraged, though they do not admit it. The highest vote that unprejudiced jadges now give Foraker on the first ballot is boO votes. Kennedy and Beatty men are both hopeful. The Foraker managers now differ among themselves as to Foraker's probable vote. One estimate from them is only 358 votes, while another is 458. Everyone seems at sea. Jon Duab. A VIEW OF THE SITUATION. How Things Stood faat After the Last Delegates Had Benched tve Ground. Special to tbe Ohio State Journal. SrBiBGFiELD, 0., June 10. As the State Journal's regular corps of reporters is now upon the ground in force, I shall confine myself to a few brief remarks upon the general situation as they suggest themselves to my mind. lip to the time I write 3 p. m. Wednesday the one marked feature has been The Decline in Judge Foraker's Strength. It is not shown merely in the fact that delegations which bad been reported solid for him come here divided or entirely opposed to him ; but that delegates who when they arrived upon the ground were favorable to the judge, have since their arrival declared their intention to vote for some other man. All tha nthpr rjinriidntM have ri-rpivpd Rnmn in a greater and some in a lesser degree, tbe oenent ot tuis detection, l nave endeavored to keep myself from thinking that things are so and so merely because I would like to have them so, and I have tried hard to present matters exactly as I believed them to be. With this determination before my mind I say now that so far as I know there has not been since the delegates commenced to arrive yesterday A single Accession to Judge Foraker' , Banks from any county in the state, while the defections have been marked, numerous and important I mean by this that no delegate who came here for Beatty, Kennedy or Rose has, since coming, changed over to Foraker; while tbe exact converse of this proposition is in numerous cases true. Not only this. There is a marked and significant change in the attitude of Judge Foraker's supporters." Their bold and de fiant bearing of the last fortnight has passed away. Their loud assertions of 500 votes for him on the first ballot and of a certain ma jority for him at least have toned down into a doubtful, hesitating affirmation that ne will lead any other man. ' - , The Jaunty, Swaggering Air with which they paraded the halls of the ho-, tela and tbe spaces about the Arcade fountain has left them, and a good many of them are contented now to stand leaning against-walls and pillars, displaying the Foraker badge on . their bosoms and a sickly smile on their countenances. More still. As they saw their prospects waning yesterday, last night and this fore noon some of tbem who had before been ntlv tolerant toward those who urged the Weakness of their favorite before tbe people, ,llo themselves to indulge in words of aru Otner canuiuates ana weir ose their tempe' when tbe mmmmuj presented. The earjMMndents of i . .i . "wrawnnr were nowevcr tav " r me" other candidates fell to earth before they were fairly rigged; and then they meant to throw in, good naturedly and with a careful concealment of anything like pity or contempt a few kind words of condolence for Beatty, Kennedy and Rose, and a few hints to the supporters of the latter on - Tha Folly of Their Course-in having any opinion of thsir -rwn as to who- should be Governor, after the genial Mas sey and the sagacious Boyle had decided thft mrllfllA Ibintr in .(Wanna Tf w . e nMMv program, and had not the interest of the P .t.t. ...I ,r t.a i? u i : . .n i in ."U V.

DWW 111 the way, no doubt the delegates, to the number of least 500, would have accommodated these two courteous gentlemen by singing it But not only did they decline to sing the program through, but they hesitated upon the very first number; and as a consequence Messrs. Mussey: and Boyle found their eqoanamity exceedingly disturbed, and in their correspondence this morning they fall into The Language of Sneers and Bitterness, and even, permit their .usually courteous pens to sprinkle their letters with the un-pretty little word "lie.". As the Commercial Gazette so often and so ably remarks, in its editorial columns, it is sad - Now a to Beatty's Prospects. It is as true as it was yesterday that Beatty has not lost a man in any quarter, and that he has made several gajns. Still more than that, the arrival of the different delegations has shown that Beatty's strength is well distributed throughout the state. He .will have votes from every Congressional district in Ohio, and the counties that are solid for him are situated in all sections of the state, from the lake to the river, and from Pennsylvania to Indians. This takes away the aspect of his being the candidate merely of some particular locality. I do not say that General Beatty will be nominated. Such assertions are usually as unreliable as they are foolish; bat I do not for a moment hesitate to say that at this writing his chances seem decidedly the best - General Robert P. Kennedy Has Grown in Strength since his first arrival on the ground. While this statement is true, its significance must not be overestimated; because it was necessary that Kennedy should grow very much indeed in order to be nearly equal in strength with either Beatty or Foraker. I think he has grown in larger proportion than Beatty even; bnt Beatty a prospects were life-size from the start nd Kennedy's were not And further, there a'e delegates, notably from the river counties, who came here intending to vote for Kennedy that are now decidedly inclined to prefer Beatty. No one doubts Kennedy's ability to make a strong and probably successful canvass of the state; but it is felt at the same time that Beatty possesses exceptional elements of strength with the people that would Make His Election a Certainty." New, how about Rose? I have not fully made up my mind with regard to him. That he would be a popular candidate for Governor and carry the state, I have no doubt But what are tbe chances of his nomination? Colonel A. T. Brinsmade, the able and sagacious Cleveland politician, tells me that Cuyahoga intends to present Mr. Rose and press him earnestly and solidly. Hi says further that he believes there can be mustered for him nearly or quite 100 votes on first ballot Now, I have only to say that if Mr. Rose does get that many votes at first, and if after that Cuyahoga stands solidly by him he has a fair and equal chance lor nomination.The above notes embody my impressions at this time. But even while I write the incoming Cincinnati trains are bringing in a large crowd of tbe friends of Foraker; the friends of Kennedy declare they believe that their favorite is in the lead; a heavy and strengthening Beatty sentiment seems to pervade the atmosphere; there are all sorts of rumors as to possible, impossible and probable combinations; and before midnight the whole situation may be changed. The Details of the Ever-Shifting Situation, the various changes that may ' take place with illustrative incidents, will be faithfully given to you by your other correspondents, through the telegraph and otherwise; but I shall close this right here as a fair and impartial view of things as they presented themselves to my mind between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. And whoever may be nominated for Governor, I believe that at least all the other candidates and all thedelegates will do their best to elect him. Soootra. ' SPORTING MATTERS.

It was learned tonight that O'Day and Carroll will join the Pitta-burgs here tomorrow, which will strengthen the club materially. O'Day will probably pitch in the afternoon.

Arthur Preller.who was murdered at the Southern hotel in April, enclosing a letter from a friend which . throws new light upon tbe identity of Maxwell. The writer is Walter S. Carrington of Stockport, Lancashire, England, and he states that Maxwell's real name is H. M. Brooks. He was articled to a firm of solicitors in Stockport, and twelve months since established a law practice at Hyde, where his father is a schoolmaster.' He forged his father's name to a check and left for America, takinar with him a fine magic lantern be longing to a doctor named Sidebattony, a I suit of clothes and ar watch for which he 1 never paid. It is presumed that Maxwell and Brooks are one and tbe same person. . Figures on Pork Faeklng. Cincinnati, June 10.

The Marquis of Hartiagtoa Called by tha Queen The Conaervatives Urged to Not Accept Office The Situation. Londos, Jane 10. A committee of -the House of Lords today began the consideration of the claim of Major Maitland to the Lauderdale peerage. Major Maitland in his petition to the House of Lords says that he is the heir of the fourth son of the sixth Earl of Lauderdale, who, it is alleged, married Mary Macadam in New York in 1772, two days before her death. Mary Macadam had borne three sons to this fourth, son of the sixth earl, and it is contended by the petitioner, Major Maitland, that this marriage legitimised the offspring. Sir James : Maitland, a descendant of the fifth son of the sixth Earl of Lauderdale, contests the claim of Major Maitland to the peerage. United States Minister Phelps, United States Senator Edmunds and Messrs. Fowler, Stephen Nash and Clarence Cary will give test!-atony concerning the law of marriage as it existed la the American colonies in 1772. The chief difficulties encountered by the Conservatives in their discussion regarding the formation of a ministry, says the Pall Mall Gazette, is the problem what to do with Lord Randolph Churchill, lie claims to have done much in the work of destroying the Liberal government, and demands his share of tbe spoils.. It is apparent that tbe older Tories regard him as troublesome and semewbat dangerous to have aronnd in national councils. The Pall Mall Gazette intimates that a polite effort will be made to get rid of him. If the Conservatives form a government he will, it is said, be requested to go to Ireland, if not to succeed tbe Earl of Spencer as lord lieutenant, then as chief secretary. The sort of talk which is already being applied to the young man is something like this: '"You certainly prefer duty to mere ambition; therefore, you should accept this difficult and dangerous post. Dare you accept it T If you accept then, whether you succeed or fail, you will at least prove that you possess the great qualities of intrepidity and self-sacrifice which are among the greatest gifts possessed by popular statesmen." Lord Randolph is very susceptible to flattery, and he might prove a great Irish governor. The Queen has summoned the Marquis of Hartington, secretary of state for war, to Balmoral castle.- It is not known whether he is summoned as a representative of Mr. Gladstone, or to be invited to form a new Cabinet, Lord Hartington seems to be in no hurry to comply with the summons and has not yet started for Scotland. - - A private deputation of Conservative members of Parliament waited upon Sir Stafford Northcote and the Marquis of Salisbury today, and urged them to refuse office. The Marquis of Salisbury stated that if the Queen called them they must form a government. He would support Sir Stafford Northcote as premier, ana he expected the Queen's commands would place Sir Stafford, in that position. A n official order was issued tonigb t closing Windsor cfstle to the public after tomorrow. This 4s a sure sign of the advent of the Queen. ; . - CANADA. . Montreal, June 10.

Washington, June 10. Few Ohio Republicans remain in town tonight, but among those who are here the Foraker feeling is very strong and the majority believe that Foraker will be tbe nominee of the convention tomorrow. Whoever may be chosen, however, will receive the cordial support of all those seen by the Stats Journal correspondent, and it is evident that all believe the election of a Republican Governor is an assured fact. Western Associated Press Dispatches. Seme One Has Blundered. Washington, June 10. The Star says: The published reports about a probable duel between Representative King and Mr. Cuthbert Jones of Louisiana, because of some reflections upon members of the letter's family, alleged to have been made by General King in an interview, do not seem to have foundation enough to worry the lovers of peace and order. - It seems to have been a case of misunderstanding which mutual explanations have cleared up. Representative King fnrnishes the following and requests its publication : Washington, D. C, June 10, 1885. To the AtsacUteJ Press: I beg to say' that the alleged interview with me in regard to the Liddell-Jones matter published in the Pittsburg Dispatch and copied in other papers did not take place as represented. Most of the statements therein are purely sensational, and some of them referring to innocent ladies are not only erroneous, but injurious to characters stainless and pure, and abhorrent to every sentiment I entertain. I did not use such language in regard to the ladies mentioned, nor am I capable of using it in regard to any woman in the world. J. Floyd Kino. Mr. Murray, the Washiunton correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, furnishes the following card, and requests that it may have the same publicity a tbe communication of Representative King: Washington, June 10, 1885. To tbe Associated Press: The interview with Hon. J. Floyd King concerning tbe Jones-Liddell families of Louisiana, published in the Pittsburg Dispatch and other papers over my name and denied by said King, is substantially true and correct. ' It was held in my office in the presence of a third party. The inaccuracies already acknowledged do not affect the general tenor of the article as given me by Mr. King. ; Charles T. Murray. Beturna from the Summer Crops. Washinton, June 10. The June crop report of the Agricultural department estimates the total wheat crop of tbe country at 300,000,000 buahels, of which 207,000,000 is winter and 153,000,000 spring. The condition of winter wheat is lower than ever before in June, being now 02 against 70 in May. The condii'ioirx,! spring wheat is 07. The report of spring whvat is more favorable. The prevent report indicates a wheat crop of 300,000,-000 bushels, 23,000 000 bushels smaller than that of 1881.- Tbe general condition of rye is 3. The area of barley is nearly the same as in 1884 and the average of condition is 89. The acreage of oats has increased 4 per cent; and the average of condition is 94.

Session of the National Board of Charities . and Correction. Washington, June 10. The morning session of the conference of charities and corrections was largely devoted to the reports of committees on statistics of various kinds. These committees noted the difficulty of procuring complete returns of the statistics of pauperism, crime and insanity. A committee was appointed to confer with tbe national bureau of education with the view of securing its aid in collecting these statistics. The reports state that there is nearly eight million dollars invested in juvenile reformatories, and that there are eleyen thousand inmates supported by them, at an annual cost of one and one-half million dollars. It was recommenda I that some form of employment be given the inmates of these juvenile reformatories in order to make them partially selt-sapporting. . At the afternoon session officers were elected as follows: President, W. II. Nrff, Ohio ; vice presidents, D. C. Bell, Minnesota; W. F. Beaslev, North Carolina; J. II. Estell, Georgia.

The examination of James D. Fish, the ex-president of the late Marine bank, was continued today before the referee at Ludlow Street jail on behalf of Julian T. Davies, receiver of Grant & Ward, to discover whether or not any of the tracts of land and buildings owned by Mr. Fish were purchased with monevs secured from the defunct firm. Mr. Fish was stubborn and testy. The first question was as to a number of lots owned by Fish at Chicago. Fish said they were purchased by him during tbe past three years and became angry when asked if they were purchased with money got from Grant dc Ward, lie blurted out once or twice, "Don't ask such d--d foolish questions." When questioned as to his stock operations with Grant A Ward, Mr. Fish answered: "I had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stock stolen from me." lie was very vigorous in his denunciation of Ward's mining schemes. "I boutcbt stock in a mine from Grant & Ward," said the witness, bnt it was a swindle. I bought and paid for many mines which only existed m the imagination of Ward. 1 was induced to take hold of the Ward smelter, but Ward's brother told me they never had a smel ter." "How about the Mono mine?" the witness was asked. "The Mono mine was one of Buck Grant's." was the reply. "That was a d d swindle, too. The individual next door (Ward) can give you valuable information on these things." To other questions the witness replied, "Why don't you examine the gentleman next door?" , . "Well," replied counsel, "you issue a srfftpena duct tecum, aud we will bring him in." "Just bring him in, and he'll get a hlack eye and broken Deck!" shouted Fish, and he looked as if he would carry his threat into effect. The examination was adjourned indefinitely.

Temponuy Chairman of the Convention. Speelal to tbe Ohio State Journal. ' Spauonixn, O., Jane 10. The last day before the decisive contest for the honor of bearing the Republican standard to victory has been an exciting one here. Throughout the day and evening the hotel lobbies and even the streets, have been filled with the delegates to tomorrow's convention and the friends of the various candidates. The Kennedy boom, which obtained a fair start yesterday, has kept increasing through the day. Whether it is backed by a sufficient number of votes to back the assertions of General Kennedy's Friends that tomorrow he will be nominated, tomorrow only can tell. The Foraker men seem to hare at last come to the conclusion that nearly every one else had arrived at before, that Judge Foraker if nominated at all must be nominated on the first ballot. There are rotes here for Foraker that will go to other candidates after one or twe ballots in case Mr. Foraker does not become the nominee on the- first ballot. The condition of the Foraker forces seems to be just about this: They have reached the maximum of their possibUiiieand ' Mo AM melon to the Foraker Vote from the forces of the other candidates is now anticipated. While this is the esse with regard to Foraker, the same is not true of either Beatty or Kennedy, and therein is their strength. Neither the Beatty or Kennedy managers claim to have a sufficient number of votes to nominate on the first ballot. The Foraker managers do claim to have sufficient votes to insure his nomination on the first ballot. Captain W. 8. Cap-pellar, one of the Foraker managers, says that Foraker will have 439 votes on the first ballot. As it only requires 400 to nominate, it is trident that if any reliance is to be placed on this statement the convention will proceed to the nomination of a Lieutenant Governor very soon after a .permanent organization is effected. Bat there are several premises on which Captain Cappellar's calculation is based which are not stable. He and other Foraker men claim that , . ' The Cayaboga Cennty Delegation, while nominally a Rose delegation, will vote for Mr. Foraker, and can be depended on as part of his strength. In other words, the Foraker men claim that the Rose movement is only a blind to cover part of Foraker's strength. Investigation of this subject indicates that the Foraker managers are either the victims or the manufacturers of misin- - formation. The Cuyahoga county delegation came down today, and the leading mem- - ben of it confirmed the reports current here - yesterday, that they are determined to bring abont the nomination of W. G. Rose, if that is among the possibilities, and that the majority of tbe delegation are no more friendly to Foraker than to any other candidate. Hon. Allan T. Brinsmade, one of the leading Cuyahoga county delegates, told me that The Delegation Will Be for Bose first, last and all the time. "Will you present Mr. Rose's name to the convention ? I asked. "He will be voted tor. Whether or not his name will be presented to the convention in a nominating speech will be decided at a meeting of the delegation to be heid tonight or in the morning. - "Yon have a candidate for supreme judge fr-m Cuyahoga in- Mr. Dickman, have you net?" I inquired. 'We have no candidate for any thing ex-ecat Governor while the nomination for Governor is pending. We are for . Rose for Governor, and are going to 1q .nothing to e.'ahafinii or hinder pfir efforts to- secure him tbe nomination. Che candidacy of any other Cuyahoga oounfy man is a secondary TPYi'TlHm " ---' 1 untiii the gubernatorial question is disposed of." "Vnn ere hie as Rose boomers, are von V I asked of Hon. John C. Covert, another of the Rnvaboea delegation, "Wa are for Bose," was his response, "and erfll Art all we can for him." "Does Judge Dickman acquiesce in yonr disposition to let nis canaioacy wait on tne 'rwtjunl ha does', - . 'Mr. Covert, your anTenas- iSnnaft in connection wtan the lieutenant .imiilii in case Foraker is nominated. ith the understanding that if yonr delega tion support. Foraker, the Foraker men will support yon. Is there anything in that?" 'Slothing at all. A dosen man have been at me with that kind of talk. I am not a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and would not take it 'So movement of that kind will be made." Hon. George B. Solders, another member of the Cuyahoga delegation, said to me, "We are Determined to Nominate Bom for Governor if possible, and I think it is possible." "What reasons have yon for thinking so?" "His name is well received by everyone. The candidates for other nominations whose delegations are here working for them and not committed on the gubernatorial question, are . very favorably disposed toward Rose. If he is nominated for Governor, they know Cuyahoga county will ask nothing more, but if he fails of nomination, we have in Mr. Dickman a candidate for supreme judge, and in Hon. Carlos M. Stone for attorney general candidates, one of whom will be nominated. Stone is a strong man, and Babst, Kohler and Earn hart all want their counties to go for Rose, as that will remove from competition with them one of the strongest candidates for the attorney generalship, who, coming into the field as he will, with the unanimous backing of Cuyahoga county, will be likely to carry off the nomination. W. G. Rose is popular with every class and every faction,'' - . "In the event of his nomination proving out of the question' will your delegation be unanimous lor ForakerT" "By no means. There may be a few Foraker men in the delegation, but there are also men who think Mr. Foraker's nomination at this time would not be in the interest of the party, and would vote for General Kennedv before thev would for him. If Rose is not nominated it looks very much as though Kennedy would be." "How does your delegation stand with regard to General Beatty r .' -"We are not unfriendly to him and he might get some rotes from the delegation if Rose was out of the field." "How about the talk of Mr. Covert for Lieutenant Governor if ..Foraker is nominated for Governor?" - -"Nothing in it at all. That subject was talked over -between Mr.- Rose and Mr. Covert before Sir. Rose went up tbe St. Lawrence last week. Mr. Rose asked Mr. Covert to go in on a movement of that kind and said he would be glad to do all he could for him and would not stand in his way. Mr. Covert refused. Covert does not want the place and would not take it" Judge Solders gave some very pungent reasons why, in his opinion, Mr. Foraker should not be renominated, and it is noticeable that some of the strongest arguments against Foraker's nomination are made by Cuyahoga men, who are claimed as Foraker men by the Foraker managers. The Arrival of General John Beatty from Columbus this noon was the signal for a Beatty boom, and- Beatty stock has risen slightly since the gallant general is on the ground himself It is any individual opinion, however, for which I alone am responsible, that Kennedy stock still leads Beatty stock several points. General Beatty's headquarters are in the parlors of the Arcade house and are the handsomest apartments occupied by any of the candidates. Tbe report that the Columbus Glee club and other organizations are coming over in the morning to swell the Beatty throng has aroused the managers of other candidates' interests, and a counter-movement in the shape of processions of colored Foraker supporters, and colored Kennedy supporters parading the streets with brass bands is now under consideration and likely to result There was much Dissatisfaction Among the Foraker. Ken because the judge did not arrive this morning as expected, but postponed his coming until this afternoon, bringing him on the ground later than either of the other two candidates.' His arrival with the Hamilton county delegation at 4 o'clock this afternoon set their minds at rest however, and they now are very enthusiastic in claiming that his boom is a solid and material one, backed by sufficient votes to nominate him on the first ballot j i ; : . . . - Hon. Charles Foster i ' came from Foatoria today. He says that he has come to exercise his political rights as a Republican of Ohio, and was warmly welcomed by every one, especially the Foraker managers. The state central committee met this afternoon to decide upon the manner of distributing tickets of admission to the convention, and after their adjournment Chairman O'Neill made the following announcement: "There are 3200 seats, of which 1600 will be given to the delegates snd alternates, one to each; 250 to tbe candidates, 30 to each gubernatorial candidate and 10 to each of the minor aspirants; and 250 to the state eentral-committee, 10 to each of the central and executive committeemen, and the rest are reserved for local distribution. Of the sets of 250, 100 of each are stage tickets." Bon. William McKinlev of Stark county, who arrived today and has been, suggested as the probable permanent chairman ot the convention, says that he don't want it, has had his full share of being permanent chairman, and is in favor of Hon. Amos rownsend ot Juvahoga county lor permanent chairman. The Cuyahoga dele gation want Mr. Townsend made permanent chairman ana ne prooaDiy win De. Major McKinlev says that while he per sonally is for Foraker, he can not say that northeastern Ohio especially desires Foraker's nomination. He says that he not oaly will not be a candidate himself, but is of the opinion that no dark horse should be nominated, but that one of the gentlemen now in tne held should be tbe nominee of the convention. Major McKinlev will un doubtedly be Chairman of the Committee on Reaalu- ' tlons. He thinks that neither the tariff or liquor questions will be issues in this campaign, but considers that they are likely to come in for some share of discussion during the cam paign. Colonel B. F. Coatesof Portsmouth says that the Scioto county delegation is solid for Kennedy. Dr. Davidson of Portsmouth says that Kennedy will stand well with that delegation, and Hon. Dan. Ryan says the delegation is likely to support Kennedy, and anyway is not a Foraker delegation. Major Henry A. Axiine of zanesvuie. Muskingum county, says that the Muskingum County Delegation Will Vote for Foraker on the first ballot to give him a chance for the nomination, and if Foraker is not nom inated on the first ballot most of them will go to General Kennedv. This is at variance with some of the reports regarding! Musking um, out Major Axiine is one ot tne delegates and knows what he is talking about. Frank J. McCullongh of Bellefontaine, one of Kennedy's managers, claims from 250 to 300 votes for Kennedy on the first ballot Henry Rabbits, ex-chairman of the Republican committee, sizes up the situation as ionows: - "I don't believe from present indications that any one of these three leaders Foraker, Kennedy or Beatty will be nominated. Foraker is strong enough to control the re sult but not to secure the nomination him self. Tbe colored defection is going to work him grave and fatal injury. I believe that a dark horse will be put in, and it will be Rose or Judge Manning n. Force of. Cin cinnati. The latter is my individual choice, and would make a strong and winning race. Judge Brotherton of Auglaize is among the l !.. nil;. - t . i ,r i punaiDiuuea. inia tuuuieut jwd Aenueuy is the strongest man of the three leaders, and my choice of the three." There is also some talk of the name of Mayor Amor Smith of Cincinnati being sprung on the convention in the event of Foraker's nomination appearing impossible alter two or wree naiiots. There is a movement to induce ex-Senator Perkins of Trumbull county to allow his name to go on the second place on the ticket This is a Kennedy movement and a very shrewd one to get northern Ohio votes. in tne event ot f oraaer s nomination , Hob. George W. Ford of Geauga County seems likely to be nominated for Lieutenant ' Governor. Mr. Ford told me thisafternoon that while not a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, as he would rather be a candidate for state senator, he will take the nomination if it comes to him, as a man can not always pick out what he wants. Mr. Ford is an enthusiastic Foraker supporter, and is doing some good work for Foraker among northern Ohio delegates. Mr. L. C. Pierson, one of the delegates from Lake county, says that the Lake county delegation was not instructed for Beatty as reported, but will vote for Foraker first and if he is not nominated will support Perkins, if he is a candidate, or W. G. Rose if Perkins is not in the field. Mr. Pierson says that in no event will Rose and Perkins be candidates against each other.- The delegation is not however, unfriendly to General Beatty and he will get some votes from it - Homer C. Jones of Vinton county says that Vinton county will give Beatty one vote and Foraker two, but may change to Kennedy. Two Hundred Vetea on the First Ballet are what General Beatty's friends claim. They are - enthusiastic and expect General Beatty to be nominated. No one has and no one can sav a word against General Beattv. and when the break-up comes, when it be comes evident, as it must some time tomor row to the -followers Of the various candi dates, that their favorite can not be nomi nated, then General lieatty is as uaeiy to receive sufficient votes to nominate as any other candidate; for many of tne followers ot other candidates hare ueneral Beatty tor second choice. The Most Sensational Episode of the Day was the arrival of Judge Foraker from Cin cianati. On the .train with him was the Faanilton county d-ie-ation add a "liiimlwi iaf r" blieaan, from Hamilton couni J.-rf"-Sroi"- the Montgomery county lelejnnuev panied by the Oaysoa band, when the train arrived in Springfield, at nearly 5 o'clock, the Foraker delegates.- boomers and ptheen. were awaiting near the depot for Judge Foraker's arrival.

'. He proceeded into the hotel, and was on the way to nis neaaquarters, when his friends insisted that he step out on the balcony and say a word to the crowd which was so enthusiastically cheering him. Judge Foraker did so, saying: "I sincerely thank you for the sincere, cordial and kindly greeting- which yen have given me. I hope that tomorrow about this time in the afternoon I may have an opportunity to thank-you again. I came to. this convention as a Republican citizen to help give expression to the sentiments of the Republican party of Ohio. And now, I want to say, that whether you see. fit to entrust to me the honor of being the standard-bearer of the Republican party this year, or whether you give that honor to my ei 'cemed and estimable friend General Kennedy, or to General Beatty. I pledge you that ' no one will be better satisfied with your choice than I will, and either of them or whoever may receive the nomination of this convention will receive no heartier support from any man than that which i. shall give them. It is a matter of comparatively little consequence who is selected for the SMMard-bearer, but it is important that the campaign be a triumphant one. Keep up the enthusiasm that you now show nntil election day and there is no doubt that the campaign will eloae In triumph ftr tbe Ucpubiioau party." ; Mr. Foraker then retired and General Kennedy, who stood on. another balcony where he could hear Judge Foraker's remarks, was called on for a speech. General Kennedy said: "I will make my speeches after the delegates shall have assembled in yonder hall and chosen a standard-bearer, and I will 1 Ohio." i Soon after the Montgomery county delega- a nMl -in a him nlaei ' " i ha fan a: no Sanaa jbt-w r Oeneml Beattv and Oanaaal Sla have rly engaged most of the af- ternoon and eve dhave litpe tuno-tcrr - THE WINNER?

In the evening a crowd of hundreds surged and thronged through the Arcade, and after the Dayton band had played a few airs cries for Beatty began to go up. After the calls for him bad reverberated from wall to wall for several minute General Beatty appeared on the balcony, and was received with rousing cheers. His appearance provoked so great enthusiasm that it was several moments before the noise of the cheering was hushed sufficiently to enable him to be beard. General Beatty said: "Fellow-Citizens I suppose you all differ somewhat as to the man who shall be nominated bv this convention, and it is because we differ as fb availability of this or that man that we are here today, it may be that you are talking about your first Choice and your second choice, and perhaps you are cal culating what this delegation or that delegation may do.

Applause He was slandered, ridiculed, sneered at as a fanatic and fool; his followers were pelted with. stale eggs, their arguments replied to with brickbats, their printing offices burned to the ground, but thank God they defeated the infamies of ministers and laymen, as well as the jeering of tbe sensitive and prejudiced mob until the idea of universal freedom triumphed, until all men recognized his idea as just and true. This was a royal idea also, and brought a multitude of blessings into the world with it "Now. my friends. I simply wish to say inf conclusion that tne Kepuoucan party has a grand idea, a leading ana comprehensive thought: an idea that will. assert itself in spite of the ridicule of the Democratic press, in spite of the sneers of ten thousand vicious demagogues, in spite of the sneers and jeers of a million fools, and that idea is that this government should protect its citizens applause, should secure to every legal voter a free ballot and a fair count. And when this royal idea is recognized by the people it will bring with it honest representative parties; it will bring with it education for the freedmen; it will bring with it equalitv of rights among citizens; it will bring with it an era of good feeling among men and among sections. Fellow- citizens, l commend inis iaea 10 yon. u you will put it to the front it will in this campaign win you a glorious and decisive victory; it will do more than that it will become an issne for 1888, and on this issue we shall solidify the North and rescue the government from the hands of theex-Confederates." Applause. After more cheering and more music Gen eral Kennedy "was called for, and responded substantially as follows: -,--'(. "I wanttos&r this: - While I am a candidate before this convention, I want the best man selected fpi standard-bearer. We ought to put that man at the head of the ticket who can bring from-the pedple of Ohio .the best results for the Republican ticket.. While I would be much gratified to be placed at the head of that ticket, I say to you that no man has a mortgage on the Republican party. If any candidate can receive more votes than I, every honest delegate should ote for that man in tomorrow's convention. The spirit which tonight permeates you will permeate the Republican party throughout the campaign, and bring victory out of defeat and triumph from disaster." judge r oraker was again called for, and said : ''Fxiiow-CnizSKE I havelcome to Spring field, as ihe rest of you nave, to organize for the Republican party. I do not come here to present any claims on tbe Republican party. I never claimed to have any claim en the Republican party. The highest pride I have is to be a member of the great Republican party. The highest place I want is mat to wnicn tne party cnooses to assign me. After tomorrow's convention, who ever may be chosen, no one will follow the leader selected with more seal and more earnestness than I will, i The other candidates are gentlemen of the highest distinction. No man can legitimately say anything against them. I hone no friend of mine will. Let the rivalry be friendly, and when the choice is made, above all things let us go forward shoulder to snouiaer as one man lor tne grand itepuDiic- an party." '; Er-Governor Charles Foster was Called For and made an eloquent speech, in which he said that by fraud and treachery the Demo crats tnumpnea last year in the nation, nut the Republican party is in the minority only in the number of votes counted, not in the number east Tbe Foraker colored club of Springfield soon appeared and serenaded Judge Foraker, who addressed .them from the balcony, saying that he was gratified by their presence, not alone on account of the compliment to -himself, but because they were here as col ored men on tne same grade of equality De- lore tne constitution and the law as the hite men. He said that he first became a Republican because he abhorred slavery and had remained a Republiean because the Re-, publicans had always been on the side of the colored man. More speaking followed. General C. H. Groavenor spoke in a complimentary manner of all the candidates and in favor of a good platform-one equal to the demand for sound principles. The party should take a lesson from the disasters of the past It is a time for success more than for personal advancement All the Republicans should be held in the Sarty and Democrats drawn to it The emocratic administration in Ohio should be rebuked. This is the time to show that Republican nrincinles are sacred and true. and that the party has not been held togeth er Dy patronage. Meje Ben Butterworth '" " ' on being called but said he ought to avoid being an offensive partisan while holding an official position. But still he discussed the protection of schools, industries, citizenship and all American institutions that had been preserved by the Republican- party. Ohio has never wavered in a presidential election and should lead the column now for 1888. Besides, the state owes it to herself to purge herself from the corruption of the past two years. ' Rev. B. W. Arnett, Republican' candidate for the Legislature from Greene county, spoke eloquently on the mission of the Republican party, which bad the completion of its work yet to make. Hon. J. warren Keifer followed in an eloquent speech saying that the Republican party is going forward to conquer and will make no mistakes. That whenever it attempts to offer excuses for anything it has done it will be defeated. General Kennedy made another speech, being called on, ringing with eloquence and grand Republicanism. The immense crowd, which went up into the thousands, was by this time wild with enthusiasm. Tbe town is overcrowded tonight as this is the most largely attended state convention ever held. Bands have been serenading candidates and promenading all evening. Many people will not go to bed until 4 in the morning, and the scene is an exceedingly lively one. - Some of those in the supper-room at the Arcade this evening, who had conceived a notion that General Beatty and ex-Governor Foster were not on speaking terms, as Democratic papers have attempted to create such an impression, were surprised to see General Beatty, when he had finished his repast, walk across the room to exchange friendly greetings with ex-Governor Foster, who sat at another table. Tbe , Beatty Men Say that tomorrow their brass band will be here. They perfected an organization today which which is doing effective work. In the four-cornered contest it was found that the Foraker, Kennedy and Rose men had each an organized force pressing if heir respective claims. The Kennedy orgatiizttion is the most open and confident,-that of Foraker the most aggressive and compact while that of Rose is a very peculiar and alarming still hunt The Beatty Delegates from Franklin, as well as the other counties, went around today talking and advocating without any method in their cause. It became apparent that they were shooting in the air, and soon after noon it was decided to call a council of war. Accordingly the delegates from different counties and others favorable to General John Beatty for Governor met at the Beatty headquarters at 4 o'clock this afternoon to get the ball rolling. There was a large attendance, but after they got together H was difficult to devise the best plans for operation. Ex-Governor J. B. Neil was called to the chair, and he is being strongly pressed for- permanent chairman of the convention tomorrow. . J)r. I. 8. Topins of Perry Was ' made secretary. After ringing speeches from Allen Miller. Mayor H. C. Drink le, Captain Keller, D. A.' Rudd, George Gregg, A. 4). Rodgers and others, it was decided to appoint a committee of seven to have charge ot an the preliminary worg, anu tne ioiiow-ing were appointed: A. R. Keller, Franklin; Allen Miller, Perry; H. C. Drinkle, Fairfield: George Dawson, Morrow; I. F. Mack, Sandusky; J. W. Keifer, Clarke; A. B. Hol-combe, Paulding. This committee afterward met and appointed a number of subcommittees to visit the various delegations, to be in attendance at incoming trains, to entertain visitors at the Beatty headquarters, to look after tickets and other matters. These committees have been doing very effective work during jthe day. The sub-committee that was. appointed to hear reports state that Beatty is receiving support from unexpected quarters, that he will show ud with a strong vote on the first ballot and that he is in a good position to get the benefit of any complications that may srise. The Franklin County Delegation held a meeting tonight electing W. O. Tol- I A -.1.

The Platform Will be Simple Tet Complete, and one on which every citizen of Ohio who respects the commands to do right and fear not and love thy neighbor as thyself can stand. - . there are rumors of all sorts of combina tions of candidates for the various offices but the frozen truth is that no candidate is certain enough of his own strength or following to be able to enter into combinations, and such rumors are for the most part originated by people here who came to enjoy the reunion of Republicans and devote their leisure - moments to formulating schemes which neither they or any one else can carry out The fact is the candidates for other nominations will be very glad when tne guoernaioruu question is disposed of, for until then they will be wholly at a loss to know where they stand or what chances there are for them. the convention will meet in the wigwam at 10 o'clock tomorrow moraine and will be called to order by Hon. J. 'W. O'Neall, chair man state committee, who will introduce the temporary chairman.' Hon. J. S. Taylor of Guernsey, who will address tbe conven tion briefly on assuming the chair. The morning session is likely to be brief, the business being merely formal process of announcing committees as provided for at the district caucuses, which meet at 9 a. m. Ad- J journment will be until 2 o'clock to give the committees time to do their work and tbe real business of the convention will be transacted at the afternoon session. On reassembling in the afternoon the permanent officers will be elected, the committee on resolutions will report and a 'platform be adopted, and the nominations for state offices made in the following order: Governor, Lieutenant uovernor, ludge of Bcpreme court treasurer, attorney general, member of board of public works. It is likely that the business will be comoleted before ad journment tomorrow evening, though it is possioie tne convention may De unable to conclude its work tomorrow, and be in session again Friday. So lull a list of the candidates for the vari ous state offices was published in these dis patches yesterday, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. To the candidates for attorney general given then should be added the name of Hon. Carlos ii. Stone of Cuyahoga county, who, in the event of neither the uovernor or supreme judge being se lected from Cuyahoga, will be one of the leading candidates for attorney general. Tha Delegates Are Xov All In, and everything ready for tomorrow's contest Foraker's friends claim 430 votes on the first ballot. Beatty's friends claim 200 for him, Kennedy's 275 for him, and Rose's at least 60 for him. Of course thev can not all be right, as there are only 798 votes in the coven tion, bnt then if everyone knew just how many votes each candidate would get, and who would be nominated, there would be no use of holding a convention. General Charles 11. Urosvenor of Athens. Hon. Amos Townsend and Hon. O. J. Hodee os Cleveland, Colonel T. C. Campbell and Robert Harlan of Cincinnati are among the noticeable figures in the hotel lobbies. The Cuyahoga County Delegation met this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the La-gonda house. Judge G. B. Solders an nounced that it was necessary for the delegates who had just arrived to understand tbe situation. Hon. Allan T. Brins made was elected chairman of the delegation and J. A. Smith secretary, Mr. Brinsmade said that by a proper enort on behalf of W. G. Rose the Cuyahoga delegation could secure his nomination, and lie thought the entire forty-eight votes should be cast for Rose. Mr. Brinsmade called on any delegate present who did not intend to vote for Rose to make it . known. Mr. R, T. Holden - said he wanted' to vote for General Beatty. Mr. Day said he should vote for Foraker, and thought it not a wise policy to vote for Rose. Mr. Collins also announced that he thought it poor policy to vote for Rose, although he had no preference among the other candi dates. Secretary Smith declared that the delegation ought to vote solidly for Rose on the hrst ballot and thereafter. Judge Solders was of the same opinion. John P. Green, the colored delegate from Cuyahoga, said that it seemed to him unwise to nominate Foraker, for, unjustly or not many colored men had objections to him. Mr. Holden said that although for Beatty he would abide by a decision of a majority of the delegation. Hon. Harvey W. Cnrtiss thought the delegation should go slow talk matters over and meet again in the evening. The delegation then adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening.' At the evening session the Cuyahoga county delegation decided to present the name of Hon. W. G. Rose for Governor when the other nominating speeches are made, and selected Hon. John C. Covert to make the nominating speech. The Situation at Midnight is just about as mixed as it has been at any time. The action of the Cuyahoga county delegation in determining to present and support Roee has added to tbe complexity of the situation. Their forty-eight votes had been counted on by the Foraker men. .The loss of them has made the Forakerites mad and they are casting about for some sort of compromise which will enable them to name the nominee if he is not Foraker. Both Beatty and Kennedy managers are in a position to make a deal with Foraker managers which will result in the nomination of the man whose friends seize the opportunity and make tbe deal, provided always that Foraker is not nominated on the first ballot The Cuyahoga delegation has incurred the hostility of all the other candidates, and combinations between Beatty 'and Foraker or Kennedy and Foraker are now likely to be made at any time. Cuyahoga's, position seems to have redounded . To the Benefit of Kennedy and Beatty, and insured Foraker's defeat but whether Beatty or Kennedy will be the beneficiary of tne deal can not be determined definitely until tomorrow. Both forces are confident, while Foraker men are somewhat discouraged, though they do not admit it. The highest vote that unprejudiced jadges now give Foraker on the first ballot is boO votes. Kennedy and Beatty men are both hopeful. The Foraker managers now differ among themselves as to Foraker's probable vote. One estimate from them is only 358 votes, while another is 458. Everyone seems at sea. Jon Duab. A VIEW OF THE SITUATION. How Things Stood faat After the Last Delegates Had Benched tve Ground. Special to tbe Ohio State Journal. SrBiBGFiELD, 0., June 10. As the State Journal's regular corps of reporters is now upon the ground in force, I shall confine myself to a few brief remarks upon the general situation as they suggest themselves to my mind. lip to the time I write 3 p. m. Wednesday the one marked feature has been The Decline in Judge Foraker's Strength. It is not shown merely in the fact that delegations which bad been reported solid for him come here divided or entirely opposed to him ; but that delegates who when they arrived upon the ground were favorable to the judge, have since their arrival declared their intention to vote for some other man. All tha nthpr rjinriidntM have ri-rpivpd Rnmn in a greater and some in a lesser degree, tbe oenent ot tuis detection, l nave endeavored to keep myself from thinking that things are so and so merely because I would like to have them so, and I have tried hard to present matters exactly as I believed them to be. With this determination before my mind I say now that so far as I know there has not been since the delegates commenced to arrive yesterday A single Accession to Judge Foraker' , Banks from any county in the state, while the defections have been marked, numerous and important I mean by this that no delegate who came here for Beatty, Kennedy or Rose has, since coming, changed over to Foraker; while tbe exact converse of this proposition is in numerous cases true. Not only this. There is a marked and significant change in the attitude of Judge Foraker's supporters." Their bold and de fiant bearing of the last fortnight has passed away. Their loud assertions of 500 votes for him on the first ballot and of a certain ma jority for him at least have toned down into a doubtful, hesitating affirmation that ne will lead any other man. ' - , The Jaunty, Swaggering Air with which they paraded the halls of the ho-, tela and tbe spaces about the Arcade fountain has left them, and a good many of them are contented now to stand leaning against-walls and pillars, displaying the Foraker badge on . their bosoms and a sickly smile on their countenances. More still. As they saw their prospects waning yesterday, last night and this fore noon some of tbem who had before been ntlv tolerant toward those who urged the Weakness of their favorite before tbe people, ,llo themselves to indulge in words of aru Otner canuiuates ana weir ose their tempe' when tbe mmmmuj presented. The earjMMndents of i . .i . "wrawnnr were nowevcr tav " r me" other candidates fell to earth before they were fairly rigged; and then they meant to throw in, good naturedly and with a careful concealment of anything like pity or contempt a few kind words of condolence for Beatty, Kennedy and Rose, and a few hints to the supporters of the latter on - Tha Folly of Their Course-in having any opinion of thsir -rwn as to who- should be Governor, after the genial Mas sey and the sagacious Boyle had decided thft mrllfllA Ibintr in .(Wanna Tf w . e nMMv program, and had not the interest of the P .t.t. ...I ,r t.a i? u i : . .n i in ."U V. UiD 1KIUUI1U1 LJ. DWW 111 the way, no doubt the delegates, to the number of least 500, would have accommodated these two courteous gentlemen by singing it But not only did they decline to sing the program through, but they hesitated upon the very first number; and as a consequence Messrs. Mussey: and Boyle found their eqoanamity exceedingly disturbed, and in their correspondence this morning they fall into The Language of Sneers and Bitterness, and even, permit their .usually courteous pens to sprinkle their letters with the un-pretty little word "lie.". As the Commercial Gazette so often and so ably remarks, in its editorial columns, it is sad - Now a to Beatty's Prospects. It is as true as it was yesterday that Beatty has not lost a man in any quarter, and that he has made several gajns. Still more than that, the arrival of the different delegations has shown that Beatty's strength is well distributed throughout the state. He .will have votes from every Congressional district in Ohio, and the counties that are solid for him are situated in all sections of the state, from the lake to the river, and from Pennsylvania to Indians. This takes away the aspect of his being the candidate merely of some particular locality. I do not say that General Beatty will be nominated. Such assertions are usually as unreliable as they are foolish; bat I do not for a moment hesitate to say that at this writing his chances seem decidedly the best - General Robert P. Kennedy Has Grown in Strength since his first arrival on the ground. While this statement is true, its significance must not be overestimated; because it was necessary that Kennedy should grow very much indeed in order to be nearly equal in strength with either Beatty or Foraker. I think he has grown in larger proportion than Beatty even; bnt Beatty a prospects were life-size from the start nd Kennedy's were not And further, there a'e delegates, notably from the river counties, who came here intending to vote for Kennedy that are now decidedly inclined to prefer Beatty. No one doubts Kennedy's ability to make a strong and probably successful canvass of the state; but it is felt at the same time that Beatty possesses exceptional elements of strength with the people that would Make His Election a Certainty." New, how about Rose? I have not fully made up my mind with regard to him. That he would be a popular candidate for Governor and carry the state, I have no doubt But what are tbe chances of his nomination? Colonel A. T. Brinsmade, the able and sagacious Cleveland politician, tells me that Cuyahoga intends to present Mr. Rose and press him earnestly and solidly. Hi says further that he believes there can be mustered for him nearly or quite 100 votes on first ballot Now, I have only to say that if Mr. Rose does get that many votes at first, and if after that Cuyahoga stands solidly by him he has a fair and equal chance lor nomination.The above notes embody my impressions at this time. But even while I write the incoming Cincinnati trains are bringing in a large crowd of tbe friends of Foraker; the friends of Kennedy declare they believe that their favorite is in the lead; a heavy and strengthening Beatty sentiment seems to pervade the atmosphere; there are all sorts of rumors as to possible, impossible and probable combinations; and before midnight the whole situation may be changed. The Details of the Ever-Shifting Situation, the various changes that may ' take place with illustrative incidents, will be faithfully given to you by your other correspondents, through the telegraph and otherwise; but I shall close this right here as a fair and impartial view of things as they presented themselves to my mind between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. And whoever may be nominated for Governor, I believe that at least all the other candidates and all thedelegates will do their best to elect him. Soootra. ' SPORTING MATTERS.

Morris received a severe drubbing at the hands of the home nine today. Kemmler gave him very poor support, which may explain in a degree his poor showing.

It was learned tonight that O'Day and Carroll will join the Pitta-burgs here tomorrow, which will strengthen the club materially. O'Day will probably pitch in the afternoon.

Arthur Preller.who was murdered at the Southern hotel in April, enclosing a letter from a friend which . throws new light upon tbe identity of Maxwell. The writer is Walter S. Carrington of Stockport, Lancashire, England, and he states that Maxwell's real name is H. M. Brooks. He was articled to a firm of solicitors in Stockport, and twelve months since established a law practice at Hyde, where his father is a schoolmaster.' He forged his father's name to a check and left for America, takinar with him a fine magic lantern be longing to a doctor named Sidebattony, a I suit of clothes and ar watch for which he 1 never paid.

The Marquis of Hartiagtoa Called by tha Queen The Conaervatives Urged to Not Accept Office The Situation. Londos, Jane 10. A committee of -the House of Lords today began the consideration of the claim of Major Maitland to the Lauderdale peerage. Major Maitland in his petition to the House of Lords says that he is the heir of the fourth son of the sixth Earl of Lauderdale, who, it is alleged, married Mary Macadam in New York in 1772, two days before her death. Mary Macadam had borne three sons to this fourth, son of the sixth earl, and it is contended by the petitioner, Major Maitland, that this marriage legitimised the offspring. Sir James : Maitland, a descendant of the fifth son of the sixth Earl of Lauderdale, contests the claim of Major Maitland to the peerage. United States Minister Phelps, United States Senator Edmunds and Messrs. Fowler, Stephen Nash and Clarence Cary will give test!-atony concerning the law of marriage as it existed la the American colonies in 1772. The chief difficulties encountered by the Conservatives in their discussion regarding the formation of a ministry, says the Pall Mall Gazette, is the problem what to do with Lord Randolph Churchill, lie claims to have done much in the work of destroying the Liberal government, and demands his share of tbe spoils.. It is apparent that tbe older Tories regard him as troublesome and semewbat dangerous to have aronnd in national councils. The Pall Mall Gazette intimates that a polite effort will be made to get rid of him. If the Conservatives form a government he will, it is said, be requested to go to Ireland, if not to succeed tbe Earl of Spencer as lord lieutenant, then as chief secretary. The sort of talk which is already being applied to the young man is something like this: '"You certainly prefer duty to mere ambition; therefore, you should accept this difficult and dangerous post. Dare you accept it T If you accept then, whether you succeed or fail, you will at least prove that you possess the great qualities of intrepidity and self-sacrifice which are among the greatest gifts possessed by popular statesmen." Lord Randolph is very susceptible to flattery, and he might prove a great Irish governor. The Queen has summoned the Marquis of Hartington, secretary of state for war, to Balmoral castle.- It is not known whether he is summoned as a representative of Mr. Gladstone, or to be invited to form a new Cabinet, Lord Hartington seems to be in no hurry to comply with the summons and has not yet started for Scotland. - - A private deputation of Conservative members of Parliament waited upon Sir Stafford Northcote and the Marquis of Salisbury today, and urged them to refuse office. The Marquis of Salisbury stated that if the Queen called them they must form a government. He would support Sir Stafford Northcote as premier, ana he expected the Queen's commands would place Sir Stafford, in that position. A n official order was issued tonigb t closing Windsor cfstle to the public after tomorrow. This 4s a sure sign of the advent of the Queen. ; . - CANADA. . Montreal, June 10.

Two cases supposed to be cholera were reported in Madrid today. Three new cases were reported in Murcia, but none in Valencia. WASHINGTON. As Seen from a Dlitance. Special to the Ohio State Jonrnal. Washington, June 10. Few Ohio Republicans remain in town tonight, but among those who are here the Foraker feeling is very strong and the majority believe that Foraker will be tbe nominee of the convention tomorrow. Whoever may be chosen, however, will receive the cordial support of all those seen by the Stats Journal correspondent, and it is evident that all believe the election of a Republican Governor is an assured fact. Western Associated Press Dispatches. Seme One Has Blundered. Washington, June 10. The Star says: The published reports about a probable duel between Representative King and Mr. Cuthbert Jones of Louisiana, because of some reflections upon members of the letter's family, alleged to have been made by General King in an interview, do not seem to have foundation enough to worry the lovers of peace and order. - It seems to have been a case of misunderstanding which mutual explanations have cleared up. Representative King fnrnishes the following and requests its publication : Washington, D. C, June 10, 1885. To the AtsacUteJ Press: I beg to say' that the alleged interview with me in regard to the Liddell-Jones matter published in the Pittsburg Dispatch and copied in other papers did not take place as represented. Most of the statements therein are purely sensational, and some of them referring to innocent ladies are not only erroneous, but injurious to characters stainless and pure, and abhorrent to every sentiment I entertain. I did not use such language in regard to the ladies mentioned, nor am I capable of using it in regard to any woman in the world. J. Floyd Kino. Mr. Murray, the Washiunton correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, furnishes the following card, and requests that it may have the same publicity a tbe communication of Representative King: Washington, June 10, 1885. To tbe Associated Press: The interview with Hon. J. Floyd King concerning tbe Jones-Liddell families of Louisiana, published in the Pittsburg Dispatch and other papers over my name and denied by said King, is substantially true and correct. ' It was held in my office in the presence of a third party. The inaccuracies already acknowledged do not affect the general tenor of the article as given me by Mr. King. ; Charles T. Murray.

Session of the National Board of Charities . and Correction. Washington, June 10. The morning session of the conference of charities and corrections was largely devoted to the reports of committees on statistics of various kinds. These committees noted the difficulty of procuring complete returns of the statistics of pauperism, crime and insanity. A committee was appointed to confer with tbe national bureau of education with the view of securing its aid in collecting these statistics. The reports state that there is nearly eight million dollars invested in juvenile reformatories, and that there are eleyen thousand inmates supported by them, at an annual cost of one and one-half million dollars. It was recommenda I that some form of employment be given the inmates of these juvenile reformatories in order to make them partially selt-sapporting. .

The examination of James D. Fish, the ex-president of the late Marine bank, was continued today before the referee at Ludlow Street jail on behalf of Julian T. Davies, receiver of Grant & Ward, to discover whether or not any of the tracts of land and buildings owned by Mr. Fish were purchased with monevs secured from the defunct firm. Mr. Fish was stubborn and testy. The first question was as to a number of lots owned by Fish at Chicago. Fish said they were purchased by him during tbe past three years and became angry when asked if they were purchased with money got from Grant dc Ward, lie blurted out once or twice, "Don't ask such d--d foolish questions." When questioned as to his stock operations with Grant A Ward, Mr. Fish answered: "I had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stock stolen from me." lie was very vigorous in his denunciation of Ward's mining schemes. "I boutcbt stock in a mine from Grant & Ward," said the witness, bnt it was a swindle. I bought and paid for many mines which only existed m the imagination of Ward. 1 was induced to take hold of the Ward smelter, but Ward's brother told me they never had a smel ter." "How about the Mono mine?" the witness was asked. "The Mono mine was one of Buck Grant's." was the reply. "That was a d d swindle, too. The individual next door (Ward) can give you valuable information on these things." To other questions the witness replied, "Why don't you examine the gentleman next door?" , . "Well," replied counsel, "you issue a srfftpena duct tecum, aud we will bring him in." "Just bring him in, and he'll get a hlack eye and broken Deck!" shouted Fish, and he looked as if he would carry his threat into effect. The examination was adjourned indefinitely.
